Actually, Carbon dioxide has only increased by 31% since the industrial revolution. Methane has increased by 150%. Methane is produced both by industrial processes and farming and is probably more of a catalyst for climate change (greenhouse gases) than CO2. Methane is also (and mostly) produced by livestock. Notably cattle and sheep.

We focus on CO2 because it is by far the most man prodced gas as a result of industry.

However, populations world wide have also increased steadily since the industrial revolution. Technology is making it easier to live and medicine is extending life and preventing the high infant mortality rates from the past. Thus, we need more livestock to feed the population increase.

The CO2 argument exists because it is seen as one gas we can easily eliminate not because it is the "cause" for the supposed "Global Warming".
